A sneak peak for Pentax users!

jct us101 · 08-19-2009, 08:37 PM

Since I'm fairly well known on this forum, I thought I'd give everyone a treat (or probably not, considering I'm talking about Canon) on a new website that I've been working on.

Every once in a while I see a thread related to Canonrumors.com. Well, as of today, I've finished putting the final touches on the new official forum of that website, due to be opened tomorrow. I'd like to get a little bit of beta input, and since I didn't want the forum to be swarming with Canon users before it opens, I figured I'd post it here!

Canon Rumors Forum - Index

Please let me know what you think!

I just realized I hadn't switched the theme over. Now it's ready!

If it's the official forum for Canon Rumors, why is there no link to the Canon Rumors website?

Why use a separate domain instead of using the Canon Rumors domain?

Parallax · 08-20-2009, 06:11 PM

This is another tongue-in-the-light-socket-threads.

KungPOW · 08-20-2009, 08:49 PM

I'm one of two members on the forum. Never before have I been part of such an exclusive group.

I even OWN a Canon (two actually).

The owner wanted to give it a seperate domain name for whatever purposes.

Official launch is going to be tomorrow!

You're the administrator of the forum. Aren't you also the owner of the url? So you're just capitalizing on canonrumors.com?

You capitalist pig!

I'm proud of you.

Doesn't own an Olympus EP-1......owns the Olympus EP-1 forum

Doesn't own Canon Rumors......owns the Canon Rumors forum

Doesn't own a star ship......owns a Star Trek forum

Maybe if he runs low on fresh ideas to draw attention to himself he can start a Forum Starting Forum. Then he can start a Whining on Pentax Forums About My Other Forums Forum.

The sky is the limit here.

jct us101 · 08-21-2009, 01:04 PM

That's what I'm trying for.

I however did used to own a Canon.

Cody I've tried but you keep shooting yourself in the foot.

This kid's the only person I know of that keeps putting a "kick me" sign on his own back!

He's one of those sad people for whom any attention is better than no attention.....the type who would rather be stomped upon than unnoticed.

jct us101 · 08-21-2009, 02:38 PM

You got me.

Anyways, what do you think of the forum?

ytterbium · 08-21-2009, 03:08 PM

It's neat. I like it. I highly value pages with clean and light design, that isnt crammed with unneeded links and buttons and "features", still having everything you need at the hand. Pages that give you fast and seamless browsing experience always leave positive impression.

I like that simple shapes and few colours are used. Forums are about information. Users should see the content and not get distracted by the container. But it is desirable that container can enhance the content.
